The Master Chorale performs about fifteen times per year in its own season. It is the first organization in the nation to offer a complete season of great choral masterworks. In addition, the Master Chorale regularly performs with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and other prominent visiting orchestras. It served as the chorus for Los Angeles Opera during that organization's early years before it had established its own in-house chorus. It also performs in community concerts throughout Southern California.

Gershon conducted the Chorale on the soundtrack of Lady In The Water, released in 2006.

Awards and recognition

In June 2003, the Master Chorale received the prestigious ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming.

Education Programs

Since 1990, the Master Chorale has held the "Los Angeles Master Chorale High School Choir Festival," one of the largest high school choir festivals in the nation.

“Voices Within,” another of the Chorale’s highly successful outreach programs, is an in-depth, eight-week, in-school residency program for fifth graders that helps children who have little or no musical background to “find their voices.” With the assistance of a teaching artist, lyricist, and composer who work with students in the classroom, children write original songs.
